Flaming Youth - Guide Me Orion lyrics

"Stay", said the bird, "Stay, stay: As the summer midnight pa**es And the rosy dawn is fingering the Eastern sky Enjoy the day And the dew on the spider's web And the dappled light under oak and ash: Why leave the ocean's swell and the seaweed shore And the whitespread gull, the limpet shell, The thin, heady air of the mountain peak And the stream that swells to a river's spate And a garden, walled, with the scent of thyme, And the furrowed field where the foxes lie?" Guide me, Orion Lead me, Orion For you are the bright stalking hunter And your power I obey - Protect me, Orion "Remember friends and loves and familiar scenes And the sad sweet echoes of another time And the scents and sounds of a childhood gone: Stay", said the bird, "Oh stay: This is the scale for your leaping dream, Here is your life and your resting place." Then the wood fell quiet – and into the sky A new bird rose with a plume of fire. Guide me, Orion Lead me, Orion For you are the bright stalking hunter And your power I obey - Protect me, Orion Orion! Guide me, Orion. Lead me, Orion. Guide me, Orion. Lead me, Orion. Guide me, Orion. Lead me, Orion.
